Faster than a speeding bullet.More powerful than a locomotive.Leaps tall buildings in a single bound.Walks on water.Lunches with God, but must pick up tab.

Colonel

Almost as fast as a speeding bullet.More powerful than a shunting engine on a steep incline.Leaps short buildings with a single bound.Walks on water if sea is calm.Talks to God.

Lieutenant-Colonel

Faster than an energetically thrown rock.Almost as powerful as a speeding bullet.Leaps short buildings with a running start in favourable winds.Walks on water of indoor swimming pools if lifeguard is present.May be granted audience with God if special request is approved at least three working days in advance.

Major

Can fire a speeding bullet with tolerable accuracy.Loses tug-of-war against anything mechanical.Makes impressively high marks when trying to leap tall buildings.Swims well.Is occasionally addressed by God, in passing.

Captain

Can sometimes handle firearm without shooting self.Is run over by trains.Barely clears outhouse.Dog paddles.Mumbles to self.

Lieutenant

Is dangerous to self and comrades if armed and unsupervised.Recognizes trains two out of three times.Runs into tall buildings.Can stay afloat if properly instructed in the use of life jacket and water wings.Talks to walls.

2nd Lieutenant

Can be trusted with either gun or ammunition but never both.Must have train ticket pinned to jacket and mittens tied to sleeves.Falls over doorsteps while trying to enter tall buildings.Plays in Mud puddles.Studders.

Officer Cadet

Under no circumstances to be issued with gun or ammunition, and must even be closely supervised when handling sharp pieces of paper - staples are right out.Says: "Look at choo choo!"Not allowed inside buildings of any size.Makes good boat anchor.Mere existence makes God shudder.

Sergeant-Major

Catches hyper sonic armour peircing fin stabilized discarding sabot depleted uranium long rod penetrators in his teeth and eats them.Kicks bullet trains off their tracks.Uproots tall buildings and walk under them.Freezes water with a single glance; parts it with trifling gesture.Is God.

The Bigger The Lie, The Higher They FlyAirline | Chicago, IL, USA(The captain of our aircraft had stepped off to get some paperwork as customers were boarding. One passenger looked up front and turned to our flight attendant.)

Passenger: “Why is there only one pilot up there?”Flight attendant: “She is the first officer. The Captain will be back in a bit.”Passenger: “Can they fly the plane with only one pilot?”Flight attendant: “The other pilot will be back in a moment. He is taking care of some paperwork.”Passenger: “Why are there two seats if there is only one pilot?”Flight attendant: *gives up* “Well, sir… actually, she is just setting up the airplane and telling it where to go. In a few moments, she’ll push the start button and leave. The plane will fly us all the way there with no pilot at all.”Passenger: “Oh! That’s neat!” *sits down, apparently satisfied*
